David Carradine News

David Carradine's widow has settled a lawsuit in which she accused production bosses behind the tragic actor's final movie of neglect - after he died while shooting on location in Thailand.

The Kill Bill star, 72, was found hanging in the closet of his Bangkok hotel room in June, 2009. Investigators ruled the actor had died of accidental asphyxiation during a dangerous solo sex game.

Carradine, who had been filming the movie Stretch at the time of his death, had been left in his hotel room after an assistant assigned to look after him went for dinner with production staff after he failed ...

Two monsters, genetically enhanced, going toe-to-toe – who will win? (And more importantly will it suck?!) Find out all the play-by-play in the review below of the new to Blu-ray "Dinocroc Vs. Supergator" out now from Roger Corman and the folks over at Anchor Bay.

"True Legend" is a glorious looking piece of cinema that suffers from an unfortunately equally glaring identity crisis. Is it a historical action drama, a revenge flick, a tale about rising to impossible challenges or maybe just a strange, mythical, drunken fighting kung fu picture with all the trimmings? The answer is a blend of all of the above – and the resulting hard to swallow mixture is disappointingly uneven and tedious.

The film starts off well enough with a captivating staging of a bloody medieval battle that perfectly sets the mood of a dark and brooding wartime. Head military...

Fans of tragic Kung Fu and Kill Bill star David Carradine are set for a festive treasure trove of offerings from the star's estate - his belongings and designs are to be sold on eBay.com in the coming weeks.

Memorabilia and other items of interest that are currently up on the auction website include his leather vest worn in TV and film productions, an engagement ring and a plaster and bronze cast of his lips.

Also up for grabs, his autobiography, Endless Highway, signed to his fourth wife, Marina Anderson, which comes complete with a cigarette burn on the front cover.

David Carradine's ex-wife Marina Anderson has revealed all about the late "Kung Fu" star's kinky sex preferences in her new memoirs, confessing he almost choked her to death during intercourse.

The actress thought long and hard about exposing intimate details of her bedroom antics with the star in her book "David Carradine: The Eye of My Tornado," especially after Thai police ruled the actor died of accidental asphyxiation alone in June, 2009, performing a solo sex act, in a hotel room.

But she felt Carradine's sex habits were central to their six-year relationship and three-year marriage...

David Carradine's widow is suing bosses behind the actor's final movie, insisting her husband would never have died if he had been properly looked after during filming in Thailand.

The "Kill Bill" star, 72, was found hanging in the closet of his Bangkok hotel room last June. Investigators found the cause of death to be asphyxiation and Thai police reports suggested he died accidentally during a dangerous solo sex game.

Carradine was in the city filming a movie entitled "Stretch," and the late star's wife, Annie Bierman, is now taking legal action against the producers, insisting her husba...

Last year Heath Ledger was the shocking celebrity death, and this year it was Michael Jackson. But there were plenty of other notable deaths in 2009. Peruse our photo slideshow commemorating the famous lives who have touched our hearts over the years.

Today's videos: Buy a car, get a free gun! Mew's "Palace Palyers"; a very awkward Natalie Portman interview from Funny or Die; comedians Greg Giraldo and Whitney Cummings bring their A-game to the Joan Rivers roast on Comedy Central; and Mary J. Blige's latest video, "Stronger", from the film More Than A Game. Check 'em all out!

Heart attacks. Plane crashes. Car crashes. Drug overdoses. Murder. Over the years, these have become some of the most common causes of the often shocking deaths in the music industry. On a lighter note, some might argue that even ham sandwiches have been involved.

Regardless of the cause, take a look back at these musical icons that have left us way, way, way too soon - yet have left us with legacies that will live on forever. The majority of these deaths, in addition to being sudden and shocking, were in some way either ironic or just completely messed up. Rock on...

Michael Welch -- who plays the oh-so-not-lucky-in-love Mike Newton from the international sensation "Twilight Saga" -- joins us to discuss the upcoming new theatrical chapter, "New Moon," as well as his acting history including his new film starring the late David Carradine and what it's like to work with Norm MacDonald when he was twelve years old.

Michael Welch: Hey, Mike. How are you doing, man?

Mike: Good. This could get confusing considering that you, your character, and myself all have the same name.

His manager believes the actor died of natural causes. Carradine, 73, was staying in Bangkok while shooting a movie. The film crew became aware of his absence when they went to dine out at a restaurant yesterday. When a producer went to his room, he discovered that the actor had died.

I must admit that two weeks ago, I grossly underestimated how popular "Fast & Furious" would be. The film captured the title of highest grossing opening weekend for a car-themed movie by taking in $72.5 million. I think it's important to note this, because I believe I'm an excellent judge of movies, but I admit the movies I recommend will not always reflect the average American movie patron's opinion.

Rob Schneider has never been one to back away from controversy and as we discussed his new film Big Stan -- released on DVD this week -- this became all the more apparent as this interview went along. Rob is very candid about what he thinks of a fellow Saturday Night Live alumnus and expresses his love for Roger Ebert, a man he once engaged in a very public dispute.

Mike: So, how was the transition to directing?

Rob: Not a big transition because I always felt I had a hand in directing all my movies. So, I really knew what I wanted and it took so many months to finally get the m...

(HollywoodChicago) – While 2008’s “Death Race” makes no secret about being a remake of 1975’s “Death Race 2000” with David Carradine as the title character Frankenstein and Sylvester Stallone as his archrival Machine Gun Joe Viterbo, what’s perhaps less obvious but still clear when you read between the lines is how the film steals from others.

Though the story had a different book cover, Jason Statham’s character as Jensen Ames and then the masked Frankenstein can be directly correlated to (as just one example) Nicolas Cage’s character in 1997’s “Con Air”. We’ve certainly seen this bef...

The serendipitous career of eccentric movie producer, director and writer Quentin Tarantino is a complex one. Tarantino has made a name for himself by creating nonlinear storylines and filming multiple perspectives from different characters in his movies - a technique that strays from the more commonly used straight-time storyline.

His films are not off the wall, but they invoke an element of surprise that comes from the small details within a scene that catches one off guard and by adding mysterious elements that never get explained. A good example of this was in Pulp Fiction when M...

At the height of his international fame, the legendary Bruce Lee – along with his friend and student James Coburn and Oscar® -winning screenwriter Stirling Silliphant – began to write what he believed would be the greatest achievement of his film career.

David Carradine (Kill Bill), Christopher Lee (Star Wars Episode III), Roddy McDowall (Planet Of The Apes) and Eli Wallach (The Good, The Bad And The Ugly) star in this acclaimed cult hit that brings Lee's personal philosophy to the screen with a still-potent comb...
